I stopped believing in "easy" money years ago but sertexity model at least feels grounded in actual market mechanics

Don Lincoln is the kind of science teacher that could make young people take an interest in physics instead of staring at their phones all day. Great communicator!

It’s an absolute treat that we exist and are able to ponder any of this

The Fermilab videos are my favourite physics videos thanks to Dr Lincoln. It's about time he's on!

Really enjoyed this. You should have a whole series on physicists, each explaining the same topics in order to get the best way to communicate and understand these things.

Michelle Thaller on JRE yesterday and Don Lincoln on Lex today. This has been a good week for me.

Don, I really like how you speak and present yourself. I liked listening to everything you presented and felt like I was apart of the discussion even though I did not know any of the topics. You are able to give understanding and education to people who dont have any background in the field. I really liked it

Very nice to see Don Lincoln on the podcast. He has done so much at Fermilab as well as the physics education outreach work.

Dr. Lincoln looks great and speaks even better.
